Many people dislike her due to her condescending and provocative nature. She consistently picks fights in World Chat and is, from what I have heard, rather distasteful in Alliance Chat as well.
I have no doubt that QueenofNo would misuse the title of Expert to her own (and her alliance's) advantage. Not only do I believe she would abuse the privilege, I believe she would laud it over player's heads as a constant threat.
While I do not dislike Queen as a person, as a player I think she is a poor nominee for Expert. She and I often have differing opinions and I rarely express them with foul language; I could easily see her muting anyone who openly disagrees with her.
In sum, although she may be a knowledgeable player, she lacks the necessary social skills such as tact, courtesy, and respectfulness that the title of Expert requires. I believe It would be a mistake to give her the privilege of that status.
How nice! You really are making good on your threats. What's next, an ad in the Wall Street Journal?
Meanwhile, it's ironic that I've been the most vocal on S44 about Haypi requiring moderators to moderate based on the TOS, and not personal opinion and you're being so disingenuous on the topic because you have a grudge. I think you were present on WC when I argued with an expert that threatening someone with a mute because they didn't "act normal" was inappropriate. Likewise when experts tried to moderate people for writing in all caps (yes, it's annoying, but unless they are spamming, it's not mutable) I spoke up. Again I spoke up when an expert claimed they were allowed to warn and mute just because someone typed in a language other than English. And still yet I spoke up when I saw an expert trying to provoke a chronic potty mouth into profanity so that they could be muted. I followed through with all of my concerns with support.
Oddly, it was just several weeks ago on WC that you were claiming to everyone that you and I were so alike (no one else saw it, but you were oh so insistent), and now suddenly, when it suits you, I'm so horrid? We can all see how the facts are subject to change to meet your needs and wishes and perverse agendas.
While I might enjoy a good debate (it's a backbone to a good war), I have always defended everyone's right to have their own subjective opinions. However, substituting opinion for fact is something I loathe. And that is all you've done. But, this is a discussion for which opinion is relevant, so I think most people will find it easy to gauge the fact to opinion ratio in your statements and use your opinion for what it's worth.
In my opinion, your continued libelous remarks are nothing more than another arrow that falls short from your bully bag of tricks.
